armed guards in schools. someone should remind them they have secret service protection because the president is the president. anyway, take a look at the ad. >> mr. obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. but he's just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security. >> yes, an elitist hypocrite who is the president. anyway his plan today will include calls for congressional action on an assault weapons ban, a limitation on the sale of high-capacity magazines, also taking a look at stronger, federal background checks for anyone who wants to buy a firearm. at the moment, senate democratic leadership seems split on whether or not we're going to get any action through congress. majority leader harry reid is skeptical we can get anything past republicans in the house but at the same time, minority whip steny hoyer is more optimistic. he's hopeful that perhaps his colleagues in the house will be more flexible after what happened at sandy hook elementary. we're back with more show after the break.

the healthcare. what you always talk about that we have a cost problem. call it the $55,000 cat bite. that's the rough total of medical costs so far for a cat bite on my hand that turned into an infection that turned into surgery and a week in the hospital. it opened my eyes about various aspects of healthcare system, not the least of which is the extraordinary care provided by nurses and state-of-the-art resources available to doctors. i still have my left hand thanks to them but the bill has arrive and i'm a good deal less impressed with the money side of the system. this is what you always say right? >> we have a totally inflated system when it comes to cost. we have no idea what anything costs. you can deliver a baby at a hospital in one town and up the street deliver the same baby, the same services will cost you three times as much. it is total arbitrary pricing. there's no regulation on what facilities can charge or how much insurers can reimburse. it is a free for all. >> stephanie: you couldn't deliver the exact same baby.

it would be one of the evil twins. >> we don't comparison shop healthcare because you just can't. i'm sure this guy didn't drive around looking for the cheapest hospital to save his hand. >> stephanie: listen to the details. ucla. $4,000 a night for the hospital room. $16 for a tylenol. the head of the health system said it is totally crazy. he runs the place. our billing system is terrible. i get some explanations of benefits from my insurer and i don't understand what they are. he's saying it is not just ucla. anyway david lazarus writes, flip side to the levels of treatment. insane prices to cover contractual insure es that leaves people lucky enough to have insurance holding the bag for those that don't. that may be coming to an end thanks to obamacare. >> that's the whole point. we have so many people who don't have health insurance not because they're free lords and don't want it.

people want insurance. they want protection. it is not affordable. they don't get insurance and those of us who do end up having to absorb the cost of those who don't. the idea is to get everybody paying their fair share what they can afford and that way we're taking care of each other as a group society and people aren't picking up the tab for other people who can't afford it. >> stephanie: in his case, you know, obviously his insurance paid only $1500. they covered 38,000 of the bill. he says that leaves $14,000 unaccounted for. the doctor said that's funny money. that just disappeared. here's the long and short of it. insurance demand discounts. hospitals in turn ridiculously inflate prices so they can still turn a profit even after the insurer's discount kicks in. and they say hospitals pad people's bills with the cost of providing treatment to the uninsured patients who require months of care.

anyway but -- >> also people get different bills. the if you don't have insurance your bill is a lot higher. they'll hound you for the rest of your life to try to pay that bill. there are some hospitals who do charity care who have a certain amount of money that they allocated to give away every year. not give away but they budget that in so they know they'll absorb some cost every year. but at the same time, if you have insurance you get one bill and if you don't have insurance you get another bill. >> stephanie: medical prices are being deliberately pumped full of hot air. more money is changing hands so you don't know if you're getting a fair deal. >> stephanie: that's what he's saying. $3200 for an mri is what they billed the insurer. i could have gotten the same mri for closer to $300. >> that's what we want to be able to get. we talk about making healthcare legislation better over time. that's one really big, important part of it is being able to put regulations in place so that you

know exactly how much things cost. we don't have the overinflated prices. >> stephanie: here's the crux of it. i know you have to do something you do writing news, whatever, but the point is -- >> our little news segment on this little show they call the talking liberally, stephanie miller show. >> stephanie: thank you. how is this going to help or be changed with obamacare. he says one aspect of the healthcare law is a switch from the current system that provides incentives to hospitals to keep people from getting sick in the first place. they say it is similar to the way kaiser operates to give insurers a fixed amount. if your doctor can keep healthcare spending below that amount, he or she pockets the difference. if you require extra treatment the insurance will cover the true cost of care. this is a seismic shift said the doctor who allow us to stop sending out the crazy bills. >> also more coordinated care so you're not doing the same tests over and over again.

you go to one doctor, they do a test and then they can't get the results faxed over to them because it is a complicated process. they do it again. and that way you're getting billed twice for the same thing you've already had. if we had a coordinated system, you wouldn't be running the same tests over and over again and charging people multiple times. it is an unnecessary waste. what we're trying to do is in the industrial complex making money off of this. it is ineffective. we have the most expensive care in the world. not the most effective. >> stephanie: when and they say -- he said most hospitals insurances will happen online by next year. for people who don't receive coverage through their employers. right now, the more patients we have in the hospital, soon will make more money by keeping you out of the hospital. that really could be a seismic shift to look forward to. >> you remember that horrible, evil devilish public option? fought so horribly against because it was a government takeover of healthcare. that would have set some

standards so we would know what things cost. >> shocking no one else has opted for the american system. >> stephanie: he says there's no excuse for these kind of prices. anybody who charges prices like that deserves a little quality time with my cat. >> live that he's got a cat that bit him like that. he's gotta learn how to set the cat on -- >> stephanie: the root of the healthcare problem cats, clearly. cat people. all right honey. thank you. see you at the top of the hour. >> my pleasure. >> stephanie: there she goes.

control, i'm with them. number two chris about the battle of iwo jima -- >> that was jim. >> caller: over 18,000 casualties totaled over that period. that was pretty bad. >> yeah. >> caller: third thing, shout out to jacki schechner. my son is going to penn and he probably wears his harvard is my safety school t-shirt. >> stephanie: thank you honey. funny because it's true. how did you know on cue senator rand paul, anything to do with any kind of -- this is just gun regulation is just one -- always the same, right jim? no, you're not the boss of me or anything. >> i'm going to drive backwards at night with my lights off. >> stephanie: right. >> you can't stop me. >> stephanie: i own my own libertarian paradise. >> laws of gravity do not apply

to me. ahhhh! >> stephanie: he's talking about the obama administration using executive order to bypass congress so they can't get gun control measures done. >> i'm against having a king. i think having a monarch is what we fought the american revolution over. that's someone who wants to act like a king or a monarch. i've been opposed to executive orders even with republican president but one that wants to infringe on the second amendment, we'll fight tooth and nail and i promise you there will be no rock left unturned as far as trying to stop him from usurping the constitution. >> know what i mean, wink, wink, nudge, nudge dog whistle. here lassie. >> apparently -- >> stephanie: yes. does he not -- the white house knows which stuff is obviously that you can do by executive

order and which stuff you can't. they keep putting this information out there. none of the stuff we're talking about has to do with taking your stupid guns. it has to do with, you know, gathering information and that kind of stuff. okay. what are you doing? what are you doing over there? let's go to my ron in minnesota. you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi meyran. >> caller: i was just petting my puppy. you would approve. i think i have found the solution for this debate about clip size. i think that we should mandate there are either five rounds maximum or 1,000. nothing in between. it is the doughnut hole. 1,000 round clip would weigh about 100 pounds. >> stephanie: more than blue whales. >> caller: one other thing, if you would indulge me. yesterday, i'm loathed to recommend this but se cupp, she

did offer some advice. i wrote a letter to chris about this last week. i wish you guys would get into -- a little bit more into the science of this -- just to maintain i guess a little more credibility with the nonnut gun nut owners throughout. there is a lot of difference between rounds with dead kids, it shouldn't make any difference but to the audience we're trying to win over and understand, we need to establish more credibility. that's kind of why she did make a good point yesterday about the differences. >> stephanie: differences between what? >> well, two guns. sks or an ak-style round is radically different than this 223 or 5.56 i think is m-16 round. the 5.5 was designed to defeat the geneva convention. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: because it does through the action of the bullet what the old dumdum bullets used

to do. >> stephanie: okay. all right. >> caller: when we throw them all in there together, when we make the laws and they got a common, i support the president on this, i'm really tired of the -- if the shooters -- nra people would spend less time shooting at one-dimensional targets, maybe they wouldn't be so one-dimensional in their thinking. >> stephanie: thank you very much. [ applause ] i don't care about the differences. i want to get them all. come get them. i hate them all. but i understand your point. to some people it makes a difference. let's go to oscar in chicago. you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi oscar. >> caller: how are you? thanks for taking my call. i think we're going about this the wrong way. we have to change the culture of guns in america. guns are glamor, they're part of our whole nation. we took over the nation with the native americans with using guns. people are in love with them.

people were in love with smoking. smoking was a big thing until we started going after the manufacturers about smoke and how it is no longer glamorous. then the laws will follow. seatbelts, ed schultz said about the seatbelt laws. the seatbelt didn't magically appear. the manufacture her to install it and then the law followed. >> stephanie: remember in the '70s, by the time you turned your car in, they were completely unused. >> caller: people never used them. >> stephanie: you didn't know it was there. that's been there the whole time. >> caller: you reach down and get it. we have to change the culture. one more point i want to make about guns. reason i said we have to go up for the manufacturers is for one reason. what modern technology we have that's the same as it was when it first began. cars have changed. computers have changed. everything. but the gun is still the same simple manufacturer. it is a pin hitting the back of a barrel that shoots a bullet

out. so why can't we come to a sensible change of culture in america. but have, if they have to put people on -- >> stephanie: you remember when the cell phone ticket laws came out. we thought that was ridiculous. it is my right. but we looked at the research of how many people were getting killed while someone was on the phone or texting and you go you know what? >> now we have seatbelt laws. >> absolutely. >> we have to make smarter guns. make the manufacturers make the smarter guns. let people sue the manufacturer. let people go after them. >> stephanie: i hear you honey. representative rosa delauro joins us next along with charlie pierce as we continue on "the stephanie miller show."

[ ♪ theme ♪ ] >> stephanie: hello. okay. hour number two current tv land. representative rosa delauro coming up from the great state of connecticut to talk about how to prevent gun violence. they're meeting today aren't they, jacki with nancy pelosi, et cetera. so everybody's on this gun control thing. >> i don't know the schedule but yeah, it is good that people are moving and there is momentum. that's what we wanted. after the shooting in newtown people were saying enough is enough. we've got to keep the momentum going to get something accomplished. >> stephanie: i haven't seen anything move this quickly. the fact the president is coming out today with actual measures i

think is significant. >> it is. we'll see what he can do through executive action and what has to pass through congress. we know that's where everything gets stalled and gummed up, hopefully we can get something substantial done without having to go through capitol hill. >> stephanie: the newtown families are going to be there today i'm told. >> i don't know if it is the newtown families. i think kids who wrote letters to the president being concerned about. >> there are a lot of kids. >> stephanie: i see chiron on tv that there could be some of the newtown families. >> you believe everything you see on it of? >> stephanie: yes. >> a couple of inauguration updates for you. first, the motorcade for the president's inaugural parade will show support all be it subtle for d.c. voting rights. driving around d.c., you'll often see this license plate reminding you district residents don't have house members to vote on their behalf. eleanor holmes norton is an

elected official but she's a nonvoting delegate in the house. a white house spokesman says after four years of living in d.c., the president has seen firsthand how it is unfair that working families pay taxes but don't have congressional representation. so they say putting this plate on the motorcade is meant to show he's willing to fight to get d.c. voting rights and to get them budget autonomy. the president has picked a replacement to give the benediction at his inauguration. that will be reverend lewis leone who pastors st. johns church called the president's church or the church of the president. reverend leone says the inaugural committee asked him to do the benediction. it is an encore for him. he gave the invocation in 2005 for president george w. bush's second inauguration. leon replaces pastor louie giglio an evangelical who withdrew himself from participating after think progress found him giving an anti-gay sermon back in the

'90s. we're back after the break. arguments to feel confident in their positions. i want them to have the data and i want them to have the passion. but it's also about telling them, you're put on this planet for something more. i want this show to have an impact beyond just informing. an impact that gets people to take action themselves. as a human being, that's really important. this is not just a spectator sport.

>> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, it's "the stephanie miller show." ♪ i'm walkin' on sunshine ♪ ♪ i'm walkin' on sunshine ♪ ♪ and it's time to feel good ♪ ♪ hey, all right now ♪ ♪ and it's time to feel good ♪ >> stephanie: it is the "the stephanie miller show." welcome to it. six minutes after the hour. stephaniemiller.com. sexyliberal.com, the sexy liberal web site. very few tickets remain for the warner theatre in d.c. for the big sexy palooza for inauguration weekend. look what the republicans got around to. it is called emergency relief for a weekend because normally

it is an emergency and people need that aid right away. nonetheless, jim, lots of republicans voted against it. they voted against sandy aid although it still passed. representative rosa delauro of connecticut -- >> we're asking and we're pleading and we shouldn't have to beg for money for the northeast. to be able to survive this tragedy that hit us. >> it is the northeast. it is not like it's the real america. >> stephanie: apparently that's what some republicans thought. i begged to get rosa delauro on the show. here she is. >> how are you? >> stephanie: thank you for taking time for us. >> thank you. >> stephanie: before we get to the president's gun measures and your meeting today that is really just -- i keep using the word unprecedented on this show. >> appalling and unprecedented. >> stephanie: not only the amount of time that it took them to vote on this, correct but so many voted against it. >> it is incredible. look we -- the fact of the

matter is natural disasters no one is responsible for them. you have people's lives and the challenges they face. they can't face them. this is not of their -- their doing. and you know, we've always come together around these efforts so you're right about it being unprecedented. it is appalling and outrageous that we have waited so long for new york new jersey, connecticut, pennsylvania, to be of assist -- to be assisted. we have 200 homes in milford connecticut, where they had problems with the hurricane irene. so then -- in order for them to be able to do any rebuilding, they need to rely on community development block funds which was part of this bill. also, there was an amendment here. very parochial, i'll give you the contrast. congressman fleming from louisiana of all places, you

know cut out almost $10 million from connecticut for this mckinney wildlife refuge here which was -- you know, which was here. to build back. to tell you in hurricane katrina, $71 million went to louisiana for refugees. it is just really unconscionable. >> stephanie: i sometimes -- it feels like it must feel like to you like people are governing two separate countries. you've got your colleague michele bachmann her first order of business is to put forward a bill to repeal obamacare for the 33rd time. people in the east are waiting for assistance that they need now! >> it is groundhog day. >> absolutely. >> stephanie: i think your colleague, representative andrews put it in stark terms for us that there is a guy on the new jersey boardwalk that lost his business that now didn't get the money in time and won't be able to open in spring. how does he keep a roof over his head and feed his kids? it is a timely thing right?

>> how is he going to be able to contribute to the economic growth? he won't be doing anything. he can't. what happens to reinforcing this recession that you know, that people have faced. the point is that these are -- no one -- no one predicted this. no one is responsible for it. these are -- you know, it is a natural disaster. and there is a wonderful quote that says you know, this is part of the contract of government that citizens have. and when the levies break we need to be there so that we don't have new orleans drowning. these cities and towns and people cannot drown and we just leave them on their own. >> stephanie: congresswoman again, as many people have said including chris christie and others used to be bipartisan with storm relief. even as we approach this debt ceiling crisis again. didn't used to be something we negotiated over. when you talk about a hostage

crisis, it really is. one side is willing or thinks it might be an okay outcome to blow up the united states economy and the world economy. or that's something they can take that they can negotiate with. as americans, that didn't used to be something that was negotiable. >> no. in honesty people, you know, we debated that issue. whatever side we talked about the increase, the increase, the increase. in a bipartisan basis and whether it was clinton or bush or reagan administration, et cetera, then people voted to increase the debt limit because it's not about future spending. it is about spending that has occurred and that is like getting your credit card bill in the mail and you've made the purchases and then you say well, hell, i'm not going to pay the bill. >> stephanie: really would be like talking to mastercard and going we really need to cut spending. so i'm not paying this.

>> i'm just not going to pay my bill. >> stephanie: you're the one that ran up the spending. >> congress ran up the bill. you can have a debate and conversation about those efforts. >> i think what's incredible, i've been look at the commentary and the quotes from some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. you know, shall remain nameless in a political -- i think it is possible that we would shut down the government, government to make sure that president obama understand that we are serious. we always talk about whether or not we're going to kick the can down the road. i think the mood is that we've come to the end of the road. i mean this is -- from the highest level. from the highest levels. within the republican congress. >> stephanie: some republican -- i can't remember who it is now said he thinks it would be a wonderful experiment to shut down -- like wow okay. >> it's maddens.

>> stephanie: speaking of maddens, obviously the president today is going to be on about noon eastern, going to hold a press conference to discuss how to prevent gun violence. now you and leader pelosi and others are also doing a meeting today, yes? >> that's right. they weren't -- you know, scheduled to be at the same time but i think it's -- you know, i think it is good that they are coming at the same time. >> stephanie: again, this is something that should really be bipartisan. you know, if there's nothing that can make you come together as americans you know, sandy hook isn't it, i don't know what is right? >> look, sandy hook was overwhelming. being in that -- at that memorial service was something you know. in my life i've not experienced. and imagine you know, parents grandparents, first responders, teachers. everyone that witnessed this is, you know, truly in shock.

and this ought to be a turning point. what's interesting is the public is saying what the president said. which is so poignant. he said are we doing enough to protect our children? the answer he admitted is no. that must change. and the country is logical to change. look at the "washington post" poll yesterday. the data says 58% of the nation wants to see a ban on assault weapons. we're not going after everyone's guns. we're going after assault weapons. the high-magazine -- the high-capacity magazines the feeding action. 88% say background checks. close the loophole. and my hope is that part of the recommendations that the president and vice president are making includes resources for mental health services. 67% of adults, 80% of children who have mental health concerns

and issues are not getting treated. this is a serious issue. >> stephanie: again, our friends on the other side of the aisle want to cut cut cut. they're the ones who want to cut funding. >> we've been fighting for increases in funding for the substance abuse and mental health services agency year in and year out. and you know, there again -- just give you one more example. the affordable care act which they want to continue to try to repeal. that says that any plan on the exchange has got to include coverage for physical illness mental health illness. it expands the number of professionals, healthcare professionals includes social workers. that can be used as mental health professionals. we can -- address this issue and the aca is doing that and yet people will talk about focusing on these issues but they will not deal with the resources that are necessary so it is just words and not action.

>> stephanie: i think you know much like sandy relief, this is critical. because we don't ever know when the next one could happen. how are you -- my friend, senator boxer out here, has proposed national guard in the schools. is that one -- another facet of this? >> let me be honest and senator boxer and i are very, very good friends. i believe we ought to have secure schools. and safety in our schools. i don't want to turn our schools into prisons or fortresses. and so i think we have to look carefully at that. for me, i think part of the security of schools is having a mental health professional in every school. you know, i'm willing to talk about security in our schools but i think it is not just in armed personnel or teachers or armed guards. i think it is a combination of precautions that need to get

taken and also look at the issues of what kind of services in essence that we can offer and those mental health services i think are critical. >> stephanie: absolutely. representative rosa delauro thank you for updating us on all of the important stuff. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> stephanie: talk soon. [ applause ] >> stephanie: see, i can already tell what right-winger will call and say there was a mental health professional at sandy hook and she was shot and killed. that's what i'm saying, there are a number -- people have talked about even bringing back retired or returning troops, that troubles me a little bit because there's a huge problem with ptsd. so i agree -- this is a complicated issue. do you introduce more guns into this and how do you know about the mental health of some of those people. >> it is really complicated and expensive to solve. >> national guard might be a solution but still, do we really want them patrolling everywhere?

>> stephanie: i know. all right. lots more to get to with all of this. my goodness. 17 minutes after the hour. kids, we get letters from david like in north carolina, you chris, mama, please let chris know he very nearly killed me as i was taking a sip of coffee. he held the headline cox pulled out a beaver. long story short i may be using my carbonite back-up. that's part of our evil plot is we say things that make you spew things into your computer and then it goes poof! why did i listen to stephanie and get carbonite? we all have valuable files on our computers. we're adding new files all the time.

startled that he apparently didn't record it. must be a glitch. hold it! >> stephanie: we've been waiting for years. are you ready? >> what he said is -- well -- he did not -- that's it. >> it was's did not! antone scalia was no, he did not. >> stephanie: we were saying it was the equivalent of people waiting for forrest gump waiting for him to say something after running across the country for years. >> given the fact that we have some very elderly people on the supreme court the idea that they would hear clarence thomas' voice, who knows. >> never ever thought i would hear you do that reference either. >> stephanie: there you go. so the chuck hagel nomination, i love that you're saying somebody threw out temperment. the same people who voted for john bolton, right?

>> the comparison was made by jennifer rubin, this blogger for "the washington post" who's been -- for the better part of two years now said that look at what they're doing to chuck hagel. they're not talking about his temperament. look at what they did to john bolton. bolton said they should blow up the u.n. building while he was nominated for ambassador to the u.n. >> stephanie: he has a bit of a temperment problem. >> chuck hagel isn't bff with lindsey graham anymore isn't the same thing. >> stephanie: it is incredible that the president still will not reach out in a bipartisan fashion. he's a freakin' republican. >> my favorite one now is the president isn't a nice enough guy. he isn't affable and backslapping and so forth and you know -- maury dowd wrote he's not a schmoozer the way lbj

was. he wasn't a schmoozer until he had what was yours in his pocket then he was everybody's pal.
